and any remedy to be successful must deal
with the obstructive acid which poisons
and inhames it.
Athlophoros acts on the blood, muscles
and joints directly. 1t takes the poison
out of the blood and carries it out of the
system; it invigorates the action Of the
muscles and limbers the stiffness of the
joints. 1t reaches the liver and kidneys,

conditions cease, it will restore these organs

1t il fact pleasant to note, and confirmed
by long observation, that no one who has
been citizen of Ottawa. and Afterwards left
it for other quarters, has ever spoken Of our
love, deserted without cause. 4 short liue
ago the Chicago journal published the fol.
lowing telegram
Mr.. Robert Hervey, Of Chicago. was given
complimentary banquet by the Rideau Club
of Ottawa, Ill, last night. Mr.. Hervey WIS

town, thirty five years ago.
OF course some other Ottawa was meant,
probably the capital of Canada.
This publication eau h, the eye Of James
F. Bassett, of McGrego', Iowa, who was .
citizen OF Ottawa from lS47 to 1850, and
clerked for Ryan & Sanger. for Arthur
Lock wood, and finally, for Mr. Lindley, in
the Recorders office. He wrote to Postmas.
ter Osman few days ago. en4uiring what
the article in the Chicago paper means? "No
one" he says, /" would have dared to have
given such a contemplate name as 'Bytown'
to the town which at that time we all felt 30
proud of, and which has sent out to the
world so many eminent men. Now, what
want to know Is, was the name changed un.
der Mr.. IIervy's administrat,, n, and change
back to the good old name Of Ottawa, after
he was deposed? Also, if the Rideau club
is the succes sor of the 'Old Bachelors Club,

and in behalf Of my numerous friends who
hail from good old Licking Co, Ohio among
whom are your houored father aud uncles,
and scores upon scores Of others of In Sale
county's leading and most useful citizens
Let me quote u few words from your sketch,
that you may see at glance 20 what portion

sc. Let us zee. That county was settled IN
the beginning Of the present century Two
of my great uncles came from Loudoun coun
! ", Virginia, and settled in the north part OF
the county near Utica, Ohio in 1904, and they
were among the very first in that part, The
Greens, Groves, Pliers, PARIS, BrumbacAs,
Debols, Wilson's, Obanons, Stanburgs. SUI
tens, and others settled in the south aud
central part about the same time or II year
or SO sooner. The Strawns and Armstrong;
must have come AT about the same time and
settled near Chatham, well towards the
north part Of the county,
The YANKEES" or New Enganders, set
tied around Granville, towards the west part
near the same time, and founded q college
soon after. Some years later a female sem
mary was established ut Granville. Bat

the earliest pioneer Of the county, but when
commenced to go to school, in 1882, the old
log or pioneer-school houses such as you

Dunayan, was fast disappearing and giving
place to neat frame and brick structures.
The rude log cabins Of the pioneers were al

that both were built about the sane

Of three at least. True, there vas no pub

property within the district as now, and AS
you truly said met everyone could afford to
pay much or often for the teaching given"
but all-or nearly sll-did manage to pay
whatever the Estate bill" was, though in
doing so, they oftimes had to wear coarse
clothes and eat plain food, that the children
might a. least have the rudimentals of an
education. The schools were organized hav.
ing three directors as now, and were there

examination, and be qualife by obtaining
a certificate from the examining board of the
county, as to moral character and com pcten.

if there ever was more honest, upright,
industrious and social people than the old
pioneers Of Licking county, Ohio, have
never found them. Green always be their
